Jason Taylor Signing Virtually Guarantees A Trade Up...

The Jet Defense was just two pieces away from being really good to dominating.
They have the dominant NT, the solid LB corp, two shut down corners...
The Jets believe they filled one weakness: a pass rushing DE, with Jason Taylor, who Rex was desperate to get.
But one glaring weakness remains...
The Jets are weak at safety: no Rhodes, and another safety with a concussion history (Pool).
A hard hitting playmaking safety ala Ed Reed,everything Kerry wasn't, could turn this D into an elite Rex Ryan Ravens-type SB-winning D...
With the Jets and Tanny loving the spotlight, I predict they trade most of their picks (and next years 1st) to move up to grab Tenn Safety Eric Berry...
It's going to be a short draft for the Jets this year.

Bah, trading up for Berry is ludicrous.. Lu-di-crous. Good bye 2010 draft picks. good bye 2011 draft picks.. You do realize we'll have to let some of this veterans go right? We need to get bodies in here.

All this taylor move does, is once again fortify us even further as a team that can take the BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE.

Taylor seemed to have bitterness towards the Big Tuna. "What is a Parcells guy? I always felt like I was a Tony guy."

There was some debate about how much the Dolphins wanted Taylor back. Dan LeBatard credited a source on 790 the Ticket that Taylor did have a contract offer this offseason. Taylor's agent disputed that.

"If we had a contract offer from the Dolphins, Jason Taylor would have signed it. . . . I promise you, he would be a Miami Dolphin," agent Gary Wichard said.

In theory, Wichard was on air for damage control purposes in the Miami. It was clearly a difficult decision for Taylor. But we wonder how these comments will play in in New York:

"He's not happy like he would be if he signed with the Dolphins," Wichard said. "But he's going to make the most of it because he wants to play football and be very, very happy. Because that's where he really wants to be."

THIS REALLY PISSES ME OFF>>>>>>>we should now trade taylor for a pick he does not want to be here and it is obvious

A few weeks with Rex/Pettine and this Jets defense and you'll see comments from Taylor saying how great it is to be a Jet... just wait...

The Jets aren't trading up for Berry -- absolutely zero percent chance. To get into the top 10 from #29 would literally cost you two drafts worth of players. There's no way this happens. Now, if you want to talk moving up from #29 to say #18, now that's feasible. But #29 to 7, 8, or 9 is almost impossible.

If the Jets move up for a safety, it won't be for Berry. It'll be for Earl Thomas, as he's a far cheaper alternative.

Not a chance....Jets also need another CB, if not 2, another DL. No way Tanny does a Ditka and trades his whole draft for 1 player.

i almost can't wait until the friday so we can stop seeing these "we must trade up for Eric Berry" threads.

There is huge value in Safeties in round 2...at least 4 guys will be in the mix. Seriously...there is no way the Jets are trading up for Eric Berry and there is no reason to trade up for Earl Thomas when you can pick between some of:

Nate Allen
Morgan Burnett
Chad Jones
Reshad Jones

at the bottom of round 2.

Personally, I like Burnett but he might go before 61. I'd be far happier with a small tradeup to grab him or Allen than any tradeup from 29.

I'd love to walk away from the draft with Berry but the truth of the matter is, sitting at 29 it will just cost too much to move up that far. If Berry slips down the draft board then the possibility would open up but if he stays top 10 we are all but out of it.

I don't see a trade up unless it's like a few spots. Nothing big. The Jets VP of scouting...Clinkscales? when asked yesterday didn't sound like they really wanted to trade up unless someone they really liked was right there. But trading down was definietly a strong possiblity. He sounded to really like Odrick. Well only one more day.

The Jets are crap. Total garbage. Their secondary stinks. Worst safeties in the league. No quality depth at CBs. A laughable team.
Listen to some of you. It's the BEST secondary in the NFL. And it's improved.
Moving up to 6 or 7 will cost - a 1, 2, 4 and next year's 1.
Mike Ditka did something like that once. How'd that work out? Ryan Leaf was supposed to be better than Manning. How'd that work out?
Everyone is worried about pass defense when the weakness of the Jets is RUN defense.
Hopefully, the staff will go DE in the first. It now looks like no OLB so a CB is also needed.
